In q short time, having need for .
limited field to begin with, he deter
mined upon piece of land on the coast
thirty miles south Of Alaska for the site
of his new Christian settlement, and in
vited all who had faith in him and his
God to go with him thither. A few
accompanied him and many followed.
That was something like twenty five
years ago and was the foundation of the
village of Metlakahtla. 1t is enough
to do to describe what that has become.
1t is Christian city, mathematically
planned settlement of frame houses
facing streets lighted with oil lamps. It

Tea and Coffee in England.

The use of coffee appeares to be rapid
ly declining in England. says the London
Spectator. The reduction of the duty to
three half pence pound has had no eff
feet on consumption. and the commits
sioners of customs report that in the year
ending March 81, 1886. some $4,000
pounds were consumed less than in the
previous year. They attribute the de-
cline to the comparative difficulty which
the poor find in making coffee; but it is
quite as likely that the true causes are
the declining use of alcohol and the
cheapness of tea and sugar. The bulk of
the people prefer tea to coffee, whenever
they are not deferred from the former by
the price. the female vote, which counts
in this instance for half, being all one
way. If tea were ever to become, really
cheap-say six pence pound-nothing
else would be drunk; and it would be
drunk all day. cold as we'll as hot The
taste for it is becoming universal, and dis
tinctly increases with the admixture of
the Indian teas. which are rougher, and
develope the special "teaey'' flavor.

The chief danger of the new "move-
ment" to educate women for trades and
professions is that it may be overdone.
1t is urged, and not without reason, that
in preparing the minority of women for
THEN career in lite, We may interfere with
the most important business of the great
majority. 1t is after all, only compar-
atively small number who will become
doctors. lawyers. clerks, traders or
teachers The remainder will be called
upon to devote their lives to the ordinary
duties OF womanhood. This is true enough,
says the London Telegraph. but there is
no ground for supposing that a certain
amount Of technical instruction, pursued
with care and moderation, does the least
harm to anybody. Is girl any the worse
tor subtracting an hour or two daily from
her "social duties" to give them to learn
ing nursing or the scientific use
of the graver, the needle, or
the paint brush On the con-
trary, she is all the better for it. No
doubt the ''higher" education is more
than every young woman can stand; but
a wise parent will remember the maxim,
non omnia Omniuds. If woman is to
become professor of Greek. or even a
doctor of medicine. she should be gifted
with more than average powers eff endur-
ance. But then everybody is not required
to be either professor or a physician,
and for most women, as for most men.
there is plenty of work which can learned
without special talent and performed with
success by persons of no extraordinary
ability. Women who have learned to
make themselves useful in some def
mite way will be none the worse if they
never find occasion to bring their knowl.
edge to the market. Nor Is there the
least reason to suppose that this training
will initiate against what are called their
"chances in lite." On the contrary, we
learn from the pages of the "English-
woman's Year Book, that several of the
female doctors-nearly all of them are
still quite young-have become wives,
and, unless common report is mistaken,
the process of attending lectures on alb
struse subjects of study mas been found to
lead to several satisfactory engagements.
In short, it is beginning to be found out
that young men are quite as likely to be
attracted by young women when they see
them occupied usefully and sensibly. as
when they meet them in the languid at
mosphere of dances and "at homes."-

THE PURIM ANNIVERSARY.
The Origin of the Holiday and How 1t Will
Be Observed in This City.

Next Thursday will be the Jewish holiday of
mirth and gladness-PuIim. 1t is one of the
oldest holidays in the history of this ancient
people. The event which it commentaries is
familiar to every well-informed person, for all
have heard the story of Esther, and how her
beauty saved the Jewish people. The anniver
sary of the event has ever since been observed by
them, and the evening of that day they give to
pursuits of pleasure. 1t is celebrated somewhat
as hailow cen. The Hebrew boy is free to do all
sorts of mischevous things, if he is willing to
take the risk of getting spanked should he go
so far as to arouse parental displeasure. He
generally goes about arrayed in mask and comic
costume, and for his queer antics and roguish
tricks expects to be rewarded with candies and
fruits
The masquerade is tho favorite if not the reg
ular Purim ball The preparations for it in this
city this year have been in progress for nearly
two months and it is expected that it will be the
greatest event of the kind ever known here The
arrangements have been in charge of Ed Ducas

OF the Indianapolis Hebrew congregation, and
will be held in Mannerchor Hall.
